What's All This Then with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson

Splourrrrp! Is the sound of some yummy HP sauce being added to your bacon sarnie. We're joined by returning guest and fan fave David Sims, the host of Blank Check, who went above and beyond by actually making a bacon sandwich with HP sauce for this episode.

It is four o'clock in the afternoon I must stop what I am doing immediately and find a table of small sandwiches and cakes NOW! Is probably what you think British people say every day, right? You fool. We're talking high tea (more accurately 'afternoon tea') with Ally Beardsley, from the podcast Gender Spiral and Dimension 20.

Oi, that watery bint's got me sword! Is what King Arthur might have said when he met the Lady of the Lake. I think. We're joined by podcaster and streamer DeadBlossomJesse to discuss the tale of King Arthur, mostly through the lens of the bonkers 1981 film Excalibur. Plus, the sad demise of Gentleman's Relish.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Dangdalaladangdang, dang dang dang dangdalaladang dang... and so on, is what I say when I'm being the James Bond tune. We're talking The Most Annoying Spy In The World with comedian Ahsohn Williams, who also made us do our poshest accents for kicks.

Hello! Is something a chav might say. Oh you don't think that's right? Examine your assumptions, you snob. We're joined by comedian and podcaster Eli Yudin (What A Time To Be Alive, twitch.tv/pig_dog) to discuss chavs. What is the stereotype and what is the reality? What was Chavscum?

I got your fackin' nose mate... Is what Jason Statham might say if he were your unpleasant uncle. God I hated adults who did that. You're NOT funny. Funny is quoting the Simpsons. We're joined by Andrew Law of Boonta Vista to discuss the work of Jason Statham, with an extended digression into The Beekeeper.

Bing bong bing bong... bing bong bing bong! Is what I'd say if I was Big Ben and it was half-past the hour. We're joined by comedian Jeremy Kaplowitz, host of the podcast Quorators, to discuss Big Ben. What's all that about, eh? Massive clock in the middle of London? Did You Know It's Actually Just The Name Of The Bell Not The Name Of The Tower???? Plus, why is there so much nudity on British television, and is any of it any good or is it all just a bit minging?Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

This is not just any podcast... is what that lady from the M&S adverts would probably say about this episode, if she ever heard it. This week we're joined by our first ever guest Jesse Farrar, of Your Kickstarter Sucks and the Go Off Kings, to discuss the store Marks & Spencer!

ORNGGGK! Is what I'd say if I was a Kremling and Donkey Kong had just bounced on me head. We're joined by writer and artist Alec Robbins to discuss Donkey Kong Country, which was made in Britain and thus counts as a topic for our show.

One Bendy in a Bun, please! Is what you might say if you were ordering at Wimpy, and you wouldn't think of anything of it. That's normal to do there. Our friend Nick Wiger of Doughboys and Get Played returns to tackle Wimpy, the burger chain that started in the US and is now headquartered in South Africa but is still a treasured nostalgic treat among old British berks.

He wishes he was Camilla's WHAT? Is what Princess Di might have said when she heard about Tampongate. (If you're saying the same thing, don't worry: We do a dramatic reading of the whole thing.) We're joined by writer and comedian Grace Freud to discuss our beloved Princess Diana, and I think we do a really good job of being funny about a bunch of stuff that is honestly so sad and fucked up.

I hate your stupid cheesecake you bloody berk! Is what you might say if you were on an episode of Come Dine With Me. We're joined by Boonta Vista's Ben McLeay to discuss a very British television show where pissed-off people throw dinner parties, resent each other, and then look through someone's underwear drawer on national television. Plus, do British people really not rinse the soap off their damn plates?Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

YummmMMMmmm! Is what I'd say if I liked Marmite and I was eating some, but I DON'T and I'm NOT and you can't make me. We're joined by John Hodgman, the writer, comedian, podcaster, and internationally beloved New Englander, to discuss one of Britain's most polarizing brown pastes. What is it made of? Why does it taste like that? Do people only like it or hate it, or is it sometimes just sort of 'fine?

OOOOOLONG! Is what the alien noise from this weird-ass album sounds like to me, but I don't think that's right. It is a good type of tea though. We're joined by writer and very smart person Eva Anderson to talk about something very stupid: A weird concept album from the '70s, by an American, that for some reason is huge in the UK and thus has an extremely popular 'immersive experience' in London.

Hear ye, hear ye! Is apparently not something that Lord Mayors say but I really thought it was. Maybe I was thinking of town criers but now I'm not even sure if they say that there. I'm mostly thinking of Homer in that one Simpsons episode, I guess. Our friend Mattie Lubchansky is back to discuss Fraudulent Fred Ferkel, Christmas crackers, and crazy-ass roundabouts before we learn what a Lord Mayor does.

GREASE ME UP! Is what I'd say if someone offered me a full English breakfast, and then I guess they'd be like "huh?" and I'd have to explain it's a Simpsons quote and yes I would quite like a full English breakfast, which is traditionally quite greasy. Today we're joined by certified cool guy Steve Sladkowski of PUP to discuss what he called, and I am just quoting here, "one of [Britain's] great contributions to world cuisine." Perhaps damning with faint praise, but nevertheless! Plus, the (anti-)piss flaps of Fleet Street, and another Tesco Reviews game.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Eh-oh! Is how those stupid idiot Teletubbies think you say "hello." Our wonderful friend Stefan Heck, host of Blocked Party and the Go Off Kings, returns to talk smoothies, Christmas crackers, and bettering ourselves, before we figure out what the deal with the Teletubbies was. Most importantly: Was Tinky Winky GAY?

Long have I yearned for this episode's release... Is what you'd say about this episode if you were Tolkien, but alive and a fan of the show. Libby tried ever so hard and mostly failed to hide how excited she was to have Bill Corbett, from Rifftrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000, on the show, to talk to us about Lord of the Rings! Plus, we made him look at some really horrible, dirty sausages, and talked about the best MST3k episodes filmed in the UK.

A BONUS episode on the MAIN feed? Can they do that? We're too busy letting the Christmas pudding settle and muttering "I suppose I'LL do this then" while picking up all the wrapping paper to record a new episode this week. Instead, have one of our best Finest episodes from behind the paywall: A history of Charlotte's BBC show Chartjackers, where she tried to get a song to the top of the charts using only the mystical new power of something called "You Tube."

Ohhhh I bloody love Christmas but I bloody love ADVERTS more! Mmm yummy I want to watch them all even more than I want a mince pie! Is what Asda hopes you’re saying every year. Justin McElroy joins us again to discuss whether British people eat soup, before we dive into an exploration of the weirdly emotional, long, expensive Christmas ads that somehow became A Thing in Britain.

What's your budget? Is what Kevin McCloud would say to me if I said "Hello" to him. He bloody loves saying that! Today we're joined by the video essayist Jacob Geller to discuss Grand Designs, the show where a slightly bitchy but utterly delightful British architect goes "WOT?" at people trying to build some crazy-ass houses.

Drag Me Down! Is what I would say to a demon popping his little fiery head up from Hell if I was trapped in a room with One Direction playing. We're joined by Kendra Wells, the wonderfully talented artist who authored the entire fuckin books Real Hero Shit and the forthcoming Real Hero Shit 2: Harder Than It Looks (and drew the art for our show!!), to discuss One Direction. Are they a cynical product of Simon Cowell's demonic machine, or just some nice boys? Was the fandom a bit of fun or super weird and nasty?

Really? Is what I'd say if you told me you loved playing rounders. Today we're talking about rounders—not the 1998 movie starting Matt Damon and Edward Norton but the slightly rubbish British version of baseball—with Lauren Walker of the Batting Around podcast and Rotating Sandwiches website.

Hello Jessica Hynes! Is what I would say if I was transported back in time to the set of Spaced, because she's the main one I would like to talk to, honestly. I would ask her how she is doing and if I could get her a cup of tea or anything, and does she know she'll get to snog Doctor Who in about 10 years? We're joined by Rocky Pajarito, one quarter of the dazzlingly talented, prolific, and frequently wet improv group Everything Now Show, to discuss the cult classic sitcom Spaced.

[Headlights flashing in the dark; what could it mean?

Who's this Guy then? Is probably what they said when they found the bloke with all the gunpowder under Parliament, and how amusing that would have been, due to what his name was. We're joined by our streamer friend Ricky Peacock to talk chicken "burgers," comedy college, and Conker News, before we figure out whether Bonfire Night is good or bad or maybe even racist, somehow.

OooOOO how'd 'e do that then! Is what you'd say if you were watching Derren Brown make a guy think he really wants a sausage roll or whatever. It's our first All In-Person episode! We recorded an episode in an actual bloody room together with our first return main feed guest, Slowpuke, to discuss Britain's greatest magician and the absolute mentalist, Derren Brown.

Connect! Is what I would be saying, beaming and placid, with jam around my mouth, if I was mistakenly placed on an Only Connect team. We're talking about Da Smart People Show For Brits with Josh Boerman, host of the Worst Of All Possible Worlds and Ill Conceived, who also has opinions about Irn Bru and whether British people are worse to work with than Americans.

We're joined by Justin McElroy, the outrageously prolific host of My Brother, My Brother and Me, The Adventure Zone, and Sawbones, to discuss panel shows, Christmas puddings, a Target wot fell off a hill, and what the King's Remembrancer does.

We're joined by the one and only Hayes Davenport, host of Hollywood Handbook, to discuss the classic British comedy Blackadder. Plus: Hayes reads us some incisive class analysis from a 1930s edition of Punch; Charlotte makes us watch a bit of gravy wrestling; and we compare horrid traditions at clubs from Harvard and Oxford in one of the meanest editions of Libby's Game yet.

Today we learn all about Posh People (Upper Class) with the wonderful Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Libby's Longtime Friend and the host of Text Me Back, incompletely tackling questions such as: What is with all the tweed?

Start the fans! Is what we'd say if we were hosting the Crystal Maze, and it's what I'm also asking you to do—bear with me here—because I want you to START being FANS of this show. Yeah I think I pretty much nailed that. Our guest is the one and only Howell Dawdy, who wrote and performed our theme song and the fantastic album I Need Some Help, hosts an unmissable Twitch stream, and has two podcasts of his own—sort of making the rest of us look bad?

Hmm I don't like the look of these birds let's lop their heads off—is what Henry VIII would say if he stumbled across What's All This Then. Maybe. Or maybe he'd want to marry us! That guy LOVED marrying ladies! On today's episode we do some proper history with comedian Dana Bell, our FIRST in-person guest, with whom we discuss a wife-carrying contest, Bovril, and of course, Henry VIII (except mostly we talk about Wolf Hall oouuhh it's so good).

Today we’re joined by actor, writer and comedian Phil Jamesson to discuss Chumbawamba, plus how fencing works, and why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had their name changed in Britain. P.S.

Mmmm, mushy! Is what you'd be saying if you were trying the green goo that Brits apparently love. Or do they??? Based on a survey of two podcast-hosting British birds, the answer is: Yep, we do. We're joined by Twitch streamer and proper good bloke HCJustin, a recent convert to the Church of the Mushy Pea, to make the case for a food that honestly does look like Yoda barfed. Plus, the Willaston World Worm-Charming Championships and Libby's most devilishly cruel game yet. Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Groovy, baby! Is what Austin Powers would say about this shagadelic trio of smashing birds. We're joined by comedian and cartoonist Katy Fishell to answer the questions you've all been asking: Just how realistic is Austin Powers? Do we all talk/look/shag like that? Do we even say 'shag?' Plus, we examine the world's largest Scotch egg (how DO they make those) and play a bit of a terrible 1999 Austin Powers PC trivia game.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Crackers! Is what Wallace would probably say is his second-favorite food, and it's what he'd say about this episode too, because it's a great one! We're joined by Matt Apodaca, host of Get Played and son-in-law to a real-life Englishman, to talk Wallace and Gromit, our beloved Plasticine pals.

Crrrrunch! Is what you'd say if you were eating some lovely crisps, or maybe listening to the 1960s advertising hit When It Comes To The Crunch by Smiths Crisps. Don't worry, we get into it—with our great friend and new producer Patrick Gill! A talented streamer and Smart Video Guy, Pat is the reason you can watch VIDEO of this episode (available only on the Watch All This Then tier) and the only guy with whom we'd want to mindlessly list British crisp flavors for an hour.

Mind the gap! Is what we’d tell you if we were at Holborn or whatever right now, but we’re not. (Maybe you are, though? Send us an email if you read this description at Holborn.) We discuss the iconic London Underground with David Sims, of the podcast Blank Check and The Atlantic—but you could also say he’s from the “other side” of the Atlantic due to he grew up in Britain! Wow! Plus, we learn that many Americans are not quite sure if Britain marks July 4th in any way, and many British people are very annoying about that.

'Nother round mate? Is what we'd be saying if we were at Wetherspoons. Instead we are on the computer, talking to our wonderful friend Luke Taylor, the host of the brand new podcast STORES! We discuss the decline of the supermarket cafe, which only Libby cares about, and decide "whether Spoons" is good or bad. I mean, obviously it's bad, but it's interesting when we talk about why. I assume. Listen to our podcast first because you're our friends but then go and listen to STORES! Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

There ain't no party like a Slowpuke party! Is what S Club 7 would surely say about this episode if they heard it. We're joined by @slowpuke, who is not only a wonderful and hilarious streamer but also British, just like us! We discuss what British parents like to do on holiday, having two accents, and the Chap Olympics before diving into the sordid world of S Club 7. And you KNOW we have a Libby's Game too.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

You've got to be pulling my plonker... is what Gordon Ramsay might say if he saw that we were doing a whole episode about him! This week we're joined by Libby's best friend in the whole world, Brendan James from Blowback, to discuss his love of the famously foul-mouthed celebrity chef. Charlotte also reveals the winners of this year's cheese rolling race (as well as explaining what on earth cheese rolling is) and Libby tries to fool us by coming up with some vulgar Ramsay-isms of her own. This episode is so good, it'll have you saying the F word! (Hopefully not "forgettable.")Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Choo choo! Is what Thomas the Tank Engine would say, if he were real, which I just learned he isn't. Our friend Stefan Heck, from Blocked Party and the Go Off Kings, joins us to discuss his lifelong passion for a certain Mr. T. T. Engine, and we wonder exactly what it is about Thomas that gets Stefan so damn excited. Plus, we learn about the Queen's Golden Wii (which she never claimed, in this life at least) and we write some very "steamy" tank engine erotica. This episode is absolutely CRAZY!
